Spring 2017 Afterschool Fees & Policy

Afterschool Program Fees Per Day

The price per day for our Afterschool Program depends on the number of days per week that your child is enrolled. However, these current rates are discounted and will change after November 30, 2016.

One Day per Week = $40/day

Two Days per Week = $35/day

Three Days per Week = $30/day

Four Days per Week = $25/day

Five Days per week = $22/day

Afterschool Program Total Costs

Unlike prices per day, the total costs for our Afterschool Program are determined by two factors: 1) the number of days per week that your child is enrolled, and 2) which days each week that your child is enrolled.

For example, students who attend our Afterschool Program on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays will meet more frequently than those who attend on a Monday or a Friday. Why, you may ask? Well, Washington Cathay Future Center (WCFC) adheres to the same calendar as Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), which accounts of course for: federal holidays, Winter & Spring Breaks, Professional Days for teachers, and Early Release Days. All said, if students meet more often for our Afterschool Program, then parents will pay more overall. But if parents select days of the week where our program meets less often, then they will pay less overall.

For an average of these total costs, please see below. Also be reminded that these discounted rates will increase after November 30, 2016.

Afterschool Refund Policy

While we'd LOVE for you and your child to stay with us, we understand that sometimes things don't go as planned. Below is our detailed Afterschool Program Refund Policy.

Withdraw before the semester begins, and you will receive a full refund!

Withdraw within the first week of the semester, and you will only be charged for one week of class. The remaining balance will be refunded to you as a credit for any future WCFC courses.

Withdraw within the first two weeks of the semester, and you will be charged for two weeks of class plus a $100 processing fee. Again, the remaining balance will be refunded to you as a credit for any future WCFC courses.

Withdraw after the first two weeks of the semester, and you will receive no refund or credit.

Lastly, if you are moving out of the area, we require four weeks of advanced notice before you terminate with our program. We cannot assure you of any refund without this required advanced notice.
